Districts, regions and facilities named in the program's own documents, not verified sites. Place dots exist for Malawi and Guatemala only so far.

Sample Built from district names in Malawi documents while the full place data loads; it is not yet the finished place list.

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate. Source: award and document years

Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
